The #Dumbphone Boom Is Real | The New Yorker

I can relate to parts of it.

However, I'd need at least #Signal on it if not a web browser as well. And a very good digital camera.

Doesn't look like I could be happy with one of those devices. 🤔

My #filemanagement method using 🏷️ is so much more than just a fine solution for #photomanagement. You'll see that it actually addresses many aspects of working with local files in general:

@publicvoit wait, is it compatible with denote?

publicvoit,
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

@mms Not without re-writing my scripts.

denote is cool but has made different (and IMHO suboptimal) naming conventions.

So I'd rather welcome a way of changing denote's file naming scheme.

However, I'd say that you have plenty of room beneath denote files. I do manage lots of files with my method but my Org-mode data is not part of it.

@publicvoit I thoroughly enjoyed this post. The way he stresses the choice tool is less important than your work flow and requirements. And the need to start small and just capture notes.

publicvoit,
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

@andyc Absolutely.

That's what I mean by "choose a method" in my tool-choice process.

And that's what I tried to emphasize on https://karl-voit.at/2020/01/20/start-using-orgmode/ -> start lean/small and see where it takes you.

Did you know that #Windows (with #NTFS) has native file #tagging built-in?

I describe how it's working and why you will not use it on https://karl-voit.at/2019/11/26/Tagging-Files-With-Windows-10/

It's a fun story to read about how #Microsoft fu**ed up this great idea with their weird implementation.

This small function is probably a game-changer in my personal experience:

From https://www.emacs.dyerdwelling.family/emacs/20240305160708-emacs--unified-interface-for-switching-contexts/ (he's not on the Fediverse as far as I know) I stole the code and created my-switch-to-thing() for switching to:

  • buffers
  • recent-files
  • bookmarks
  • slots
  • directories
    ... with one single command. 🤩

This replaces multiple "jump to"-commands in my setup.

You can find my adapted version in https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

chke,

@sping @publicvoit I was a bit confused when I first read that article, because I thought consult-buffer can do all that and was even mentioned in the article. So now I think the author simply was unaware. Or am I still missing something?

publicvoit,
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

@chke @sping I don't know buffer-consult and maybe the other author doesn't know as well.

However, this short piece of code I do understand and I was even possible to extend it for eyebrowse.

Today I bought my first #fountainpen since decades and it shall be one of my daily drivers from now on.

It's a #Kaweco #Lilliput stainless steel fine.

However, due to my advanced #PIM processes, I rarely write things down on #paper.

I'd love to do so much more if there would be a great #FOSS solution for offline #handwriting #OCR. That would be a great investment by the #stationery industry! 🤔

It still offers better solutions compared to my #Boox #NoteAir #eink tablet.

My Faber Castell pencil, my Fisher space pen and the Lilliput by Kaweco. The latter two are for being available through my trousers pockets while being away from my computer. I use the pencil for short term notes captured on paper.

publicvoit,
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

@gisiger Second, Boox might take advantage of knowing the history of the handwritten letters, turning it into an online OCR process or at least a hybrid one.

This feature doesn't work for me because it replaces the original handwriting and is not adding a transparent OCR layer as typical OCR processes do with printed material.

Furthermore, if the OCR makes mistakes, there is no sane error correcting and re-try mechanism.

For me, this is a demo feature not something I want to use.

I forgot one important and so I had to re-do the photographs: my LAMY AL-star black EMR Stylus with a felt tip which I use on my tablet.

It completes the rest of my daily drivers:

Very nice overview. I agree on most of the points. I must admit i have not tested it as in-depth as you did.

I also tried to import a graph from my org-roam Zettelkasten directory, but the some links were working in the visual analyzer and some were not, though the links in the pages were correct. Did you try something similar as well?

publicvoit,
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

@chfkch The graph is quite large due to the imported notes.org. However, because notes.org's data is corrupt, the graph doesn't make much sense as well.

I updated the rule two of my article "How to Use #Tags" https://karl-voit.at/2022/01/29/How-to-Use-Tags/ 🏷️

In certain situations, a large number of tags in the controlled vocabulary are not a bad thing at all if you still limit the number of tags for each file/entity in general.

@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

Wow, this was a -intense weekend for me.

Need to blog about it from an perspective.

If there is an actual reason not to use - and you really should go for this golden standard - then Logseq using syntax is a great alternative.

But still, you get the whole feature-set with Emacs only. That's for sure.

@publicvoit I know you've spent a ton of time thinking about file names, so I imagine it would be a challenging change :).

publicvoit,
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

@jbaty I've personally switched from YYYYMMDDHHMMSS to ISO-style over a decade ago for good reasons, yes.

The most important one: reading usability (legibility).

publicvoit, to Logseq
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

Today I evaluated for a couple of hours.

I really have to say that this is a really good tool once you switch from the default setting to the much better syntax. 😉

I'll migrate the data from my previous testrun over to logseq and go with that for the moment.

Don't worry, I'll probably never leave my Org setup. It's for another person's management and knowledge base where was no option, unfortunately.

publicvoit,
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

@greg I'd still encourage to install Logseq and test it on your own. Maybe I'm using some syntax elements that irritate Logseq that you don't use?

Testing is as easy as copying the file to the "pages" directory of Logseq.

greg,
@greg@gregnewman.io avatar

@publicvoit I'm going to do a fresh test on it. I'm going to create a new graph and try that way. My current instance is broken and I'm not sure why. And this time I want to default to Org syntax.

I stopped using it around march 2023 because 1) there was an AI branch they were working on and I don't want AI in my notes; and 2) they used spec design for a new logo which the artist/designer side of me strongly disagrees with.

Anyone using a #zettelkasten tool like #obsidian, #joplin, #roamresearch etc) - do you really use the graph view and what does it help? How do you integrate it into your workflow?

I first thought I'd try it because I love mindmapping a lot, but I couldn't really make use of the graph so far.

@suonoreale @publicvoit I beg to differ: check out any Tasting History video about "Hard Tack", e.g. this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTVPV-15GL0

These are more permanent storage than any software humans have conceived thus far!

publicvoit, (edited ) to markdown
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

Today, I tested #Joplin because people kept arguing that you keep your #Markdown files as local copies which prevents vendor #lockin.

From what I've seen today, this is not a valid argument. The md files are named with random file names, their content is not just md, it's md + JSON for some meta-data.

From what it seems, without Joplin, you'll lose your structure and your internal and external links. This would be a desaster to migrate to a different tool like #orgmode.

Dorianix,
@Dorianix@graz.social avatar

@publicvoit By md+json you do mean frontmatter in markdown, or not?

That would be a pretty common way to handle metadata in markdown.

publicvoit,
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

@Dorianix Sometimes frontmatter.

Sometimes, the MD is encapsulated in JSON. I couldn't figure out when this is happening.
